Style is a very broad term. It can refer to any number of different things. How you dress, your personality, your client interaction, your regularities in photo composition. How you write. (Apparently fragment sentences is part of my style.) What I want to talk about today is your photographic style.
There are a ton of different aspects that affect your style as a photographer. One was is how you compose your images. Do you zoom in tight or prefer the wide angle? Do you use natural light or prefer the control of studio lighting? In reference to posing, do you have a strict set of poses or instead leave your subjects free to interact and just capture them naturally?
Maybe it’s a combination of the above. I know that I love the wide angle but still value my zoom lens and will take a sinking sunset over a of couple alien bees any day. While my style is constantly evolving and redeveloping itself, I feel like I have control over its direction and I know where I want to end up. It wasn’t an easy road by any means but it’s the struggle that makes you stronger and when looking back at where I started to where I am today it’s pretty clear that there was a lot of struggle.
